Wonderful slaw with perfect amount of crunch. I added mandarin oranges and green onions but it would have been just as good without it. The cucumbers really made it a favorite recipe for me. I did not use buttermilk, I just added a little olive oil to keep it loose.

Used small red and yellow peppers rather than green pepper. Took this slaw to outdoor barbecue picnic- another season to repeat 'again and again'!! Thanks!

This is the only slaw, of any kind, my husband will eat. We love the crunch and the dressing isn't overbearing. Will be including this side to our holiday meals!
